VERY LOW RESERVE ** PRICED TO SELL ** VERY LOW RESERVE ** PRICED TO SELL As for the cosmetics of this HotRod - this truck is NOT A SHOW TRUCK I would call it a "10 footer" (looks great from 10 feet away) My Friend rebuilt this truck from the ground up with a whole NEW FRONT CLIP (fenders and hood) NEW WINDSHILED AND GASKET, CUSTOM STEERING WHEEL, TINTED WINDOWS, NEW DOOR PANELS, DOOR/WINDOW SEALS, The seat is a bench seat with a middle console from a newer truck, the bed has a SPRAY ON BED LINER. I have to admit the color choice is not one I would have picked but its green with some metallic flakes. In the right light you can see inconsistencies in the metallic flake. Also there are some runs in a couple areas on the roof of the truck. The wheels are American Racing with low profile radial tires with lots of tread life. I bought a spare tire for it when I was taking it on long trips (its never been used so its like new) The truck is extremely reliable for an antique. I have taken it on multiple trips to Missouri (couple hours from here) never once had any issues. The one thing that does need addressed is the brakes. I took the truck out for the first time in months the other day and the brakes werent very responsive (probably just need bled because they worked great six months ago) Another thing that I have noticed is some signs of rust and a couple spots as shown in the photos. And one last thing the gauges on the dash weren't working this last time I took it out either (not sure what caused that) My friend INVESTED OVER $7,000 into this truck and I hate to part with it especially since I bought it at a fraction of that price at $1500 but it has just been sitting and it needs to go to someone that can show it off and appreciate it. Feel free to send me a message with any further questions or photos. You will see there is also video posted so you can hear it run. I am not looking to get rich off this truck only interested in getting the money I have invested back so the RESERVE IS SET EXTREMELY LOW VERY LOW RESERVE ** PRICED TO SELL ** VERY LOW RESERVE ** PRICED TO SELL |

Rising aluminum costs cut into Ford's profit
Wed, Jan 24 2018When Ford reports fourth-quarter results on Wednesday afternoon, it is expected to fret that rising metals costs have cut into profits, even as rivals say they have the problem under control. Aluminum prices have risen 20 percent in the last year and nearly 11 percent since Dec. 11. Steel prices have risen just over 9 percent in the last year. Ford uses more aluminum in its vehicles than its rivals. Aluminum is lighter but far more expensive than steel, closing at $2,229 per tonne on Tuesday. U.S. steel futures closed at $677 per ton (0.91 metric tonnes). Republican U.S. President Donald Trump's administration is weighing whether to impose tariffs on imported steel and aluminum, which could push prices even higher. Ford gave a disappointing earnings estimate for 2017 and 2018 last week, saying the higher costs for steel, aluminum and other metals, as well as currency volatility, could cost the company $1.6 billion in 2018. Ford shares took a dive after the announcement. Ford Chief Financial Officer Bob Shanks told analysts at a conference in Detroit last week that while the company benefited from low commodity prices in 2016, rising steel prices were now the main cause of higher costs, followed by aluminum. Shanks said the automaker at times relies on foreign currencies as a "natural hedge" for some commodities but those are now going in the opposite direction, so they are not working. A Ford spokesman added that the automaker also uses a mix of contracts, hedges and indexed buying. Industry analysts point to the spike in aluminum versus steel prices as a plausible reason for Ford's problems, especially since it uses far more of the expensive metal than other major automakers. "When you look at Ford in the context of the other automakers, aluminum drives a lot of their volume and I think that is the cause" of their rising costs, said Jeff Schuster, senior vice president of forecasting at auto consultancy LMC Automotive. Other major automakers say rising commodity costs are not much of a problem. At last week's Detroit auto show, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV's Chief Executive Officer Sergio Marchionne reiterated its earnings guidance for 2018 and held forth on a number of topics, but did not mention metals prices. General Motors Co gave a well-received profit outlook last week and did not mention the subject. "We view changes in raw material costs as something that is manageable," a GM spokesman said in an email.
Ford UK exec says EVs are a good way to lose a fortune
Wed, Mar 19 2014Stateside, Ford execs are quick to point out the automaker's expansion in the plug-in sector. And despite a minimal presence in the pure EV space, the Blue Oval has been promoting its plug-in vehicles as part of an overall effort to boost fleetwide fuel economy. Too bad the company's UK chief didn't get the memo. There's "no point in us getting behind [EVs] and losing a fortune" - Ford's Mark Ovenden Mark Ovenden, speaking rather frankly at the Geneva Motor Show recently, said he didn't have real high hopes for substantial electric-vehicle adoption and said the company's money was better spent on smaller gas- and diesel-powered engines, the UK's Daily Mail says. Ovenden said of EV development that there was "no point in us getting behind it and losing a fortune," adding that his goal was to have variants of Ford's EcoBoost engine in 40 percent of the company's vehicles. Ford has about a 15-percent market share in the UK. The UK doesn't appear to be as kind to the EV as the US. Nissan last year cut the price of its all-electric Leaf there last year by about $4,000, while the company rolled out a promotion for the Leaf late last year, including allowing Leaf drivers to borrow a gas- or diesel-powered Nissan for free for as long as two weeks a year during the first three years of Leaf ownership. In the US, Ford sold just 229 Ford Focus Electrics during the first two months of the year after moving 1,738 units in 2013.
Ford hiring 800 more salaried workers than originally expected
Wed, 24 Jul 2013Ford is on a roll this year, with excellent quarterly earnings and better-than-expected vehicle sales leading to 800 more job opportunities with the Blue Oval. In January, Ford announced that it wanted to hire 2,200 salaried employees, but, since then, that figure has been revised to 3,000, representing a 36-percent increase over original projections. About 1,500 of those jobs remain, 80 percent of which are technical professional positions.
"Engineers and technical professionals are in as much demand as our cars, trucks and SUVs," says Felicia Fields, Ford Group Vice President for Human Resources. Helping to spur this job growth are increasing market share on both the West and East Coast and robust demand for the Ford Escape and F-150.
To find job candidates, Ford is reaching out to them via Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, in addition to the company's corporate career site. The Blue Oval is also ramping up its presence on college campuses.
